In the case of my brother there was quite a bit of evidence surrounding cord blood improving motor and social skills. I linked a Duke article on it in another comment

The percent of people who have banked cord blood who are not explicitly susceptible to specific genetic disorders is unknown. It would be a compounded probability of freak accidents occurring, sports injuries, other diseases ie certain cancers, environmental issues, etc

I understand that patients don't return to full health. Here's the study [0] that the article [1] reports.

Makes sense. I wonder what percent of people suffer from conditions that could be treated by the service offered by Anja Health.
